I'm writing my Master's Thesis on the 1st movement of Bartók's 2nd String Quartet right now. It is my entire life. I have to go meet with my advisor in ten minutes, but I'll write more later.
Who wants to hear about my thesis? I could go on for hours.
Mahler, Wagner, and Beethoven kick ass too, of course.
My faves:
Mahler: Symphony 4, I know, it's a weird choice.
Wagner: the Tristan Overture, Parsifal Prelude, and Siegfried-Idyll.
Beethoven: everything, how can you choose? Maybe the late String Quartets?
Got to go.
